Director's Message... and More

Welcome!

As we approach the year’s end, Casting for Recovery has reached some significant milestones. As we celebrate our ten year anniversary, we can be proud that this year we held 34 retreats in 23 states, staffed and supported by some 700 volunteers, and hosted our first-ever Collaborative Conference, at which more than ninety volunteers, alumni, and friends came together to learn and to celebrate our mission to enhance the lives of breast cancer survivors by providing retreats specifically designed to promote and support mental and physical healing.

As we approach year end we’d like to thank our friends and supporters. The Orvis Company and the Hartford Insurance Company continue to provide financial support and outreach across the country. Other organizations like Smart Wool, the Colorado Cancer League, California’s To Celebrate Life Breast Cancer Foundation; the Vermont/New Hampshire, Louisville, Maryland, Arkansas, Columbus, Ohio and Northern New Jersey Affiliates of the Susan G. Komen Foundation, Trout Unlimited Chapters, Oregon Fly Fishers Foundation, Federation of Fly Fishers Councils, Sams Club, Mission Healthcare, Carson Tahoe Hospital and the Ziv Tzedakah Fund have continued to support us nationally and in their communities. And special thanks to to our hundreds of volunteers whose time, effort and caring has made a difference to the thousands of women who have been through the Casting for Recovery program since our beginnings in 1996.

You, too can become an important part of our organization by giving us your support as we endeavor to ensure our ability to continue our good work. Visit our Support page to find out more!

On behalf of our Board, Advisors and Volunteers, thank you..

Thank you to the hundreds of men and women who provide local river guidance to our participants.
